The active low Nuclear Event Detection signal (NED) is used to initiate a wide variety of circumvention functions, thus preventing upset and burnout of electronic components. The NED output is also used to initiate both hardware and software recovery. The Nuclear Evet Flag signal (NEF) remembers the event occurred and is used to distinguish between an actual event and power up. The signal input of either Flag Reset or Flag Reset can be used to reset the NEF output. This high-speed, 14-pin hybrid detector is used in electronic systems as a general-purpose circumvention device to protect memory, stop data processing, and drive power supply switches as well as signal clamps. Detects ionizing radiation pulses 100% tested/certified detection threshold level Adjustable circumvention period Flag remembers event occurred 100% testable with built-in test Detection threshold adjustability Single +5V operation Radiation hardness guaranteed Compliant to MIL-PRF-38534 Class H1 Flat pack (F) or DIP (L) packages RADIATION HARDNESS CHARACTERISTICS: • • • • • Dose Rate (operate-through): 1 x 1012 rad(Si)/sec Total Dose: 1 x 106 rad(Si) Neutron Fluence: 5 x 1013 n/cm2 Approximate Detection Range: 2 x 105 - 2 x 107 rad(Si)/sec Maxwell Technologies Specified, Controlled, Tested and Guaranteed The HSN-3000 is guaranteed to operate through three critical environments: ionizing dose rate [1012 rad(Si)/s], gamma total dose [106 rad(Si)], and neutron fluence [5 x 1013 n/cm2]. In addition, the device is designed to function throughout the transient neutron pulse. The hybrid’s discrete design ensures a controlled response in these radiation environments as well as immunity to latchup. Each HSN-3000’s detection level and functionality are tested in an ionizing dose rate environment. A certificate is provided with each serialized hybrid, reporting the radiation test results and guaranteeing its performance. The device is also lot qualified in the total dose and neutron environments to ensure performance. The detection threshold of the HSN-3000 is adjustable within the range of 2 x 105 rad(Si)/s to 2 x 107 rad(Si)/s. This detection level can be preset by Maxwell or adjusted by the user. Less than a 30% variation in detection threshold can be expected over the entire operating temperature range. 1.

Standby mode is the normal state of the device, defined as having both the NED and NEF outputs (pins 2 and 13) in the “high” state. 2. Flag Set mode occurs after an event has been detected or BIT has been initiated and the NED output has timed out (i.e., has transitioned to the “high” state), leaving the NEF output as the only remaining output in the low state. 3. Operational mode is in effect during the timeout period of the NED signal, characterized by having both the NED and NEF outputs in the “low” state, causing the greatest current draw of the device. 4. BIT electrical characteristics are not guaranteed over the radiation range. 5. BIT may not meet specification when only a resistor is used to adjust the detection level. To use BIT in this situation, it is advised that a series resistor/capacitor combination is used. 6. Guaranteed but not tested over temperature. Time delay, tD, is measured at 50% points from the rising edge of the radiation pulse to the falling edge of the NED output at approximately 10 times the detection level. 01.07.05 Rev 3 All data sheets are subject to change without notice 3 ©2005 Maxwell Technologies All rights reserved.
